From the Organizer
The 39th Annual Circleville Classic 5K Run/Walk has an In-Person Race and a number of Virtual Events!
In-Person Race start time: 9:00 AM
In-Person Race day check-in begins: 7:30 AM (there is no race day registration)
The traditional 5 Mile Run will be a 5K Run/Walk this year due to increase safety concerns with Pumpkin Show traffic. The course will be around the Circleville High School and on the Roundtown Trail. After the race plan on enjoying the afternoon with your family and friends downtown at the 119th Circleville Pumpkin Show, “The Greatest Free Show On Earth”.
Pricing for the in-person 5K is $15.00 before October 14th, $20 until October 23rd. There is no race-day registration this year. T-shirts will still be available for sale on race day for those in the in-person race. $10 for short sleeve shirts, $15 for long sleeve (cash or check only)
All virtual events are $10. If you want the race t-shirt mailed to you after the event, $10 will be added to your total.
Proceeds benefit the Circleville HS Athletic Department and Alumni Association
